A replacement balancer could have a wrong keyway. The vehicle could be a half year, meaning that the balancer is listed for one year newer or older vehicle, or the balancer could have been made wrong.
This is a good question. Yes, the keyway, is accurate. What is not, is the balancer. After 74, the balancer keyway is offset, from the timing mark. Any harmonic balancer you use, look to see where the keyway is, compared to the hash mark on it. Make sure they line up.
it has a key in it.
To install a harmonic balancer on a Buick Riviera, first ensure the engine is at TDC (Top Dead Center) on the compression stroke for the first cylinder. Align the keyway on the balancer with the key in the crankshaft, then slide the balancer onto the crankshaft. Use a harmonic balancer installation tool to press it on evenly and avoid damaging the crankshaft. Finally, torque the retaining bolt to the manufacturer's specified settings.
To replace the harmonic balancer on a 2005 Chevy Colorado 3.5, first disconnect the negative battery terminal and remove any components obstructing access, such as the serpentine belt and crankshaft pulley. Use a harmonic balancer puller to carefully remove the old balancer from the crankshaft. Install the new harmonic balancer by aligning it with the keyway on the crankshaft and pressing it into place, ensuring it's properly seated. Reassemble the components in the reverse order, reconnect the battery, and check for proper operation.
Remove the belt. Remove the bolt that attaches the harmonic balancer. Rent or purchase a harmonic balancer puller. Follow the Instructions with the puller and remove the old balancer. Install the new balancer making sure to line up the keyway, a little oil helps. Put the retaining bolt back in and tighten to manufacture specs.
No, a 350 harmonic balancer will not work on a 4.3L V6 because they have different specifications such as size, weight, and balance. Using the wrong harmonic balancer can cause vibrations, premature wear on engine components, and potential engine damage. It is important to use the correct harmonic balancer for your specific engine.

The harmonic balancer is located on the front of the crankshaft
To attach a harmonic balancer to the crankshaft of a 1990 V6 Triton ute, first ensure the crankshaft is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Align the keyway on the crankshaft with the key on the harmonic balancer, then slide the balancer onto the crankshaft. Use a torque wrench to tighten the central bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque settings, typically around 80-100 ft-lbs, ensuring the balancer is seated properly. Finally, recheck the alignment and clearance before reassembling any other components.
